Flaky Baklava Rolls
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toss together walnuts, ground cinnamon, and sugar, then run through a food processor until finely chopped.
- Mix together sugar, water, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, and cardamom in a large saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, stirring until all ingredients are completely dissolved.
- Allow to cool.
- Lay out phyllo, 6-8 sheets per roll. Butter between each sheet.
- Between the second and third sheets, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar. This will help make the pastry crisp and crunchy.
- Lay approximately 1 1/2 cups of sugar and nut mixture along one long edge of layered phyllo.
- Roll tightly.
- Brush finished roll with butter, and then score the roll. This allows the roll to vent while cooking, and will make cutting easier after baking.
- Bake for 40-60 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cut along score lines, then turn pieces on side.
- Mix rose water to taste into syrup, and apply syrup generously to upturned sides of slices.
